The Present
Meetings are held Tuesday mornings at 10:00 a.m. in the New Providence Municipal Center at 360 Elkwood Ave, New Providence NJ 07974, and are attended by about 115 members. Coffee is available by 9:30 a.m. The usual program starts with some songs and a few jokes, reports from committee and activity Chairmen, and a talk on a timely and interesting subject.
Because of the size and quality of the audience, the Old Guard attracts excellent outside speakers.
Meetings held on the last Tuesday include recognition of members' whose birthdays are in the following month.
In addition to the weekly meetings, there are activities as noted elsewhere on this website.
When there is a school closing in New Providence due to bad weather, snow, ice, etc., there will be no Old Guard meeting (see www.npsd.k12.nj.us for closure notices).
Governance
The Old Guard of Summit operates under by-laws providing for an annual election of a Director, Vice Director and the appointment of Committees described. All are volunteers.
Forms
A number of forms are used in running Old Guard. Most can be downloaded from The Blue Book page.
